Today billionaire Eric Sprott (pictured above) warned that the current shortage of available physical gold could turn into Armageddon for the gold shorts.
Eric Sprott: “In the bond market you have the two biggest buyers of bonds, China and OPEC, now are sellers of bonds. Of course one of the thoughts that I’ve had is that maybe the Fed wants the stock market down because they need someone to come and buy bonds…
The Century’s Best Performing Asset
Eric Sprott, James Turk and George Soros all believe this company is advancing the digital payments revolution by helping people securely acquire, store, and now spend gold with unprecedented simplicity. Accounts are free and can be opened in minutes. They provide users with a secure vault account to purchase and hold gold, the ability to make and receive instant gold payments, and a prepaid card for spending gold at traditional points of sale.

Eric Sprott continues: “We see China unloading $60 – $70 billion a month, and OPECs obviously got to sell with the oil price where it is. And other people have to liquidate to fund themselves.

And the ratio of paper claims to that 5 tonnes is 252-times bigger than the amount available. So if something like 0.4 percent of the people who were long (gold) futures actually exercised delivery there would be no gold left that was available for delivery.
That’s not to say somebody doesn’t fudge some number and suggest that there is physical gold available for delivery, but the Comex has bled about 89 tonnes of gold this year. We see the same thing happening in other exchanges. So the Comex is in a very fragile state.
This Could Turn Into Armaggeddon For The Gold Shorts
Imagine being one of the entities who is short gold, what are they thinking today when there is all of 5 tonnes standing between them and some kind of Armageddon?
